Coco Scene! American Idol ...and other TV tidbits..

Let's see... In TV...

I have to admit, I am a complete addict of certain shows that do not have the passionate components of "most watched" dramedies on TV. I blame my loyalty to Masterpiece (Classic)Theater and Mystery! on my college seriousness... but who wants to discuss the bittersweetness of Cranford?!

We will dive into the blissfully non reality of fab TV...

First up..

Dancing with the Stars:

Congrats Kristi!!!



I didn't ... unlike the rest of America... really care for this season of Dancing with the Stars...the cast to me was a bit lackluster... Priscilla Presley was down right scary to look at .. bless her heart... but

Love Kristi Yamaguchi... she looks better after having 2 kids than she did when she was skating... you cannot help but respect that.


American Idol...

Yes, David C is more talented. Yes, David C has more charisma... especially now that he has dropped a little weight and gotten rid of the comb over look. However...

David C. made some awful song choices! I kept hoping he might try Nickelback (I Wanna Be a Rock Star) but it could have easily been unavailable to him... who knows..

Still - his performance was less than stellar.

David A - did really well with what he has got. Although... he should have reprised Angels at the piano. I think it may have been his best performance overall... when he really connected.



The bottom line is that David A had his game on.

We'll see who wins... what do I know?! I still think Michael Johns is better than both Davids.



Then there is....Grey's Anatomy.. of course!



Derek had sex with Rose... who seems very nice for a definite transitional person.. McDreamy recounts the incident to McSteamy and confides... "I thought about Meredith the whole time".. does that mean we forgive him? At least when Meredith went off the Vet (Chris O'Donnell), Derek was still married and trying to make it work?

Where is the adorable Vet now? Meredith needs a suitor to remind him that it doesn't go both ways..

another note... the whole Isiah Washington thing is "so whatever"... on Grey's they used the fired actor's picture and character's story line ... Dr. Burke found fame and fortune in leaving the hospital... blah..blah..blah.. Now, Washington is filing a grievance... blah blah blah... Shonda came up the character and story lines and it is just petty of him to have a fit...if he had just watched his words... we would have all been better off... now the whole F-bomb has caused 2 seperate unnecessary story lines about homosexuality in Grey's (the dying soldier and Dr. Hahn).

The kiss would have been a bigger deal if it would have involved characters we really care about..

Alex is crazy to take on crazy... no surprise... he likes the whole rescue thing if you remember the issues with Izzie.

Just waiting for Der and Mer reunion...

Toodles!

Coco Scene! Grey's Anatomy is Back!!!

Woo hooo.. reality tv marathon is over!!! Real television is returning...



I could not wait to watch last night's Grey's... Disappointed... didn't like Derek... McSteamy was pretty funny. But the most annoying thing I think was Meredith... did you see how horrible her skin looked? It was completely distracting!!!

Get thee to an esthetologist!!! Get a facial... They do have them in L.A. I've heard...

Although.. Rose's hair thing was rather noticeable.. I hear that Rogaine can do wonders for female baldness fortunately! Bless her rebound girl heart...

Toodles!

Coco Scene! Grey's Anatomy ...poor thing!

What we loved:



It was great to see Derek, aka McDreamy, again!

The New Age Healer was fun.

Bailey was awesome.

Love the banter with Dr. Hahn and Dr. Torres. We are beginning to like McSteamy ... as a person - he was funny.

What made us want to say, "Poor thing...":

George, poor thing, is just not such a great guy.




McDreamy, poor thing, seems to have "issues" that makes him so much less ...than. We feel sorry for Rose, his nurse "friend"... it is so hard when your love interest is more attractive than you. Not that any Coco Mommy has ever been in that position.. Poor Rose.



Lexie, poor thing, is no Meredith Grey.


Meredith needs a new love interest to remind Dr. McDreamy she isn't just anybody... poor thing.

In the end... the writer's strike has gotten ridiculous. But, the writing for this season's Grey's Anatomy has been mediocre at best... maybe this break will improve the storylines, and we might actually like Dr. McDreamy again and not just how he looks.

Toodles!

Grey's Anatomy - Oh what a web we weave!

So, if you watched it as it Tivo'd as we did - you know... if not... we won't spoil it. OMG - it was bound to happen... but now we kind of wished it was Alex. Poor, wicked rich, Callie. Lucky, as in "damn Lucky" Meredith. Enough said. Can't wait until March 29th. Ahhh we love Grey's Anatomy - dispite all of the drama off camera... McDreamy was amazing as always...

Toodles.

Small Sacrifices - Grey's Anatomy

Of course we Tivo'd it. Of course we watched it as it Tivo'd.

Grey's Anatomy... last week McDreamy gave us something to fantasize about when he carried Meredith Grey out of the water. Was he incredibly hot or what?! We thought looked like a front cover of romance novel. His devotion to dear Mer.. his grief.. geez could any S-O ever live up to him?!


Today, he was a wreck... in a good way. The way we know our S-O's should be if anything happened to us!

If Mer had passed on to the great hospital in the sky, we would have to pass on Grey's Anatomy's future. But the good thing about her stop en route .. Kyle Chandler popped in.. sigh..


But... with all this drama.. a sacrifice had to be made. So, Mer's mom, Ellis Grey is off to the Great Beyond - not a nice person - okay, bye bye.



George is starting to annoy us a bit. He is not as adorable. We hope his recent trip outside of the closet isn't changing how his character is being written.

Now, McDreamy - Geez- when he was in the hospital bed holding Mer.. all we could think is "she is not worthy"...

BUT - the big news with Grey's Anatomy is talk of a spin off with Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd. Addy (Kate Walsh) is very pretty.. but the charisma thing isn't really happening with her. We will have to see what they put out... if it can compare.


Addy deserves some happiness, but it is hard to imagine her holding her own show together. Now... if it was Izzie.. that could get interesting!

Which Grey's Anatomy Archetype are You?

Here are the character of the Girls in Numerology (we found this at AOL) terms:

Frank Ockenfels, ABC

Dr. Meredith Grey

The name Meredith Grey is sensitive, promotes cooperation, and makes everyone feel safe. It promotes adaptablity and survival against all odds. The name indicates understanding, compassion, and intimacy, and tends to draw support with subtle persuassion rather then force. We all know Meredith is a surviver after growing up fatherless, losing her mother to Alzheimer's and her boyfriend to his wife (briefly).

Frank Ockenfels, ABC

Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens

Isobel "Izzie" Stevens is a name that reflects intelligence, depth, and a quest for knowledge and information. She has courage, determination, perseverance, and a strong competitive streak. Perhaps this is why Izzie tried so hard to save Denny even though it would compromise her reputation as a doctor. However, she is now determined more than ever to become a great surgeon.

ABC

Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd

The name Addison Montgomery-Shepherd enhances a sense of adventure, risk-taking, adaptability, and flexibility. The vowels suggest a strong sense of beauty and a good sense of business. As her name suggests, she's a risk-taker (cheating on her husband) and can adapt to many situations (moving cross country).

Frank Ockenfels, ABC

Dr. Miranda Bailey

The vowel vibration in Miranda Bailey has courage, determination, perseverance, and a strong competitive streak. It also offers protection, takes away anxiety and fears, and heals the broken-hearted. The base vibration in this name draws respect and admiration. Quite fitting for a woman who is respected by her interns and fellow doctors. Dr. Bailey knows when to put her foot down and when to be comforting.

Frank Ockenfels, ABC

Dr. Cristina Yang

The name Cristina Yang induces a sense of freedom, adventure, risks, gambling and daring acts of courage. There is passion and excitement, often pushing the envelope of what is legal. However, the vowels give the impression of weakness, fear of confrontation and lack of confidence. Cristina crossed the line when shielding Dr. Burke's hand tremors from the others but in the end she is passionate about him and about being a surgeon.

We can comfortably say that the two major archetypes are an Izzie and a Meredith.

Meredith tends to keep her cards closer to her vest while Izzie tends to go into emotional land without a pass back. Because of that factor we feel that we fall into Meredith's camp. True - she does whine and is a little self absorbed... but , which would you want as a BFF?

Heaven help you if you are an Addison - how in the world did she get through medical school with all of the boy distractions? Can you say .."issues"!!!

Miranda is amazing except for one issue we have - the working vs. stay at home mom. On top of that, Miranda types are so giving they are the ones that end up with health issues because they put themselves last.

Cristina, Cristina, Cristina... she does seem to have it together, doesn't she? BUT - She is a hard person to like... soberly.. she would be fun at a party. She was initially dismissed by her now fiancee. Charm and charisma seem to be her weakness, both are essential for success.

So - are you an Izzie or a Meredith?
